I was happy overall with the courtesy of the staff, the facilities inside, amenities and the cleanliness of the room. I will definitely book with them again whenever I come to Cape Town - bravo to Kenny and co.

Great apartment. Clean, well equipped with a great view over Cape Town and Table mountain. Everything you could want with kitchenette, flat screen TV and pool on the roof (just a shame about the weather as didn’t get to use it). Very safe and secure in good central location. Kenny the host was extremely helpful. Really highly recommended.

The room was clean, the staff was nice.
Unfortunately the room was advertised incorrectly - we booked it specifically for a laundry machine - there was none - we also booked it for parking - there was none.

Tudo perfeito! A única coisa que eu deixaria na avaliação talvez para ajudar outros hóspedes é que em momento algum no anúncio é falado que não se trata de um hotel com portaria, restaurante e todas comodidades que se tem qdo nos hospedamos. No caso são apts em um prédio com outros comércios com uma portaria de prédio e não de hotel.
A localização é excelente, o apt de muito bom tamanho para um casal, super novinho, cozinha pequena e muito bem equipada para uma rápida refeição, um local de verdade demais agradável de ficar. Kenny foi maravilhoso desde a hora que chegamos e foi chamado pelo porteiro nos recebendo super bem, demais educado, gentil, atencioso demais até a hora de irmos embora, nota 1000 para ele e para o apt
Só acho mesmo que deveriam informar que não se trata de um hotel e sim de apts alugados para que o hóspede vá sabendo certinho onde vai ficar.
EU SUPER RECOMENDO!
